| Abide With Me Music by William Henry Monk. Lyrics by Henry Francis Lyte. Revised by Charlie Skarbek. |
Released in 1999 on the various artists album Land Of My Fathers
recorded with the Morriston Rugby Choir. Charlie Skarbek played the guitar for this song and he
was also the producer.
This hymn had been repeatedly played among other songs by the seven musicians of the band of the Titanic as the ship went down. No member of the band survived.
The original song has three more verses and was called "Eventide". It was in the compilation of "Hymns Ancient and Modern" (1859-1861). This most popular English hymnal ever published
and was created under the musical editorship of William H. Monk (1823-1889) to compile all the individual songs of the Anglican church of the 1st half of the 19th century. Also Greek and Latin hymns were translated into English for this work.
